  • Data shows direct flights to Zanzibar have hit 34 from around the world.
  • Talks underway to launch direct flights to Zanzibar from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
  • Kenya-based budget carrier Jambojet is set to start Zanzibar-Mombasa flights from July.

Zanzibar President Dr. Hussein Mwinyi has been steadfast in his push for the economic growth of the Spice Islands and a globally renown tourist hub. Among his major focuses has been the introduction of direct flights to Zanzibar, an archpelago off the Indian Ocean.

Zanzibar’s crown airport is Zanzibar’s Abeid Amani Karume International Airport which now the government is revamping, expanding, and modernizing to meet the demand of a growing number of visitors.

Complete with almost all modern facilities, the airport also has several duty-free and commercial outlets at its terminals, enhancing its appeal for airline operators eyeing direct flights to Zanzibar.

Tanzania mining

With its recent multimillion-dollar mining agreements, Tanzania is positioning itself as a key player in the global quest for critical raw materials. President Samia Suluhu Hassan expressed optimism: “These minerals are promoting Tanzania’s name worldwide.” Tanzania is open to investments in other areas, such as entertainment and leisure. Australia is one of the leaders in this niche, offering plenty of online entertainment, including online casinos. There are a lot of great online casinos out there, but if we had to choose one as the best, we would visit this website to find it. The Tanzania mining agreements not only enhance the country’s economic standing but also mark a shift towards sustainability, reducing dependence on global giants like China.

Mining Agreements

In a move towards becoming a mineral production hub, Tanzania signed agreements with three Australian mining companies – Peak Rare Earths, Evolution Energy Minerals, and EcoGraf.

Kenya-Germany cooperation on climate action.
  • As temperatures keep rising and emissions soar, the planet, too, continues to break (dangerous) new records.
  • Climate change is a shared problem that the global community must solve by working together.
  • With a strong partnership between Africa, Europe, and the rest of the international community, Kenya, can make significant contributions to the global transition to a net-zero economy.

NAIROBI – Last year in Berlin, the great Kenyan long-distance runner Eliud Kipchoge broke the world marathon record, clocking 02:01:09 and beating his previous time by 30 seconds. His success has made him a legend not only in Kenya but globally. It offers a useful lesson for everyone involved in the fight against climate change. Kipchoge’s winning strategy is rooted in the science of running (as well as 120 miles of hard work every week), and our own approach to the climate crisis must involve the same level of commitment and …

Samia
  • Tourism is one of key economic sectors championed by President Samia
  • At present the economy stands at 5.2 per cent
  • President Samia’s administration is pinning its efforts against the backdrop of the FYDP 2021/22-2025/26

Her Excellency, President Samia Suluhu Hassan, Tanzania’s 6th president, has the same dream as her predecessors did that of making Tanzania a prosperous African powerhouse.  

Tanzania is not new to the ins and outs of development. It has demonstrated to the entire world it is up for a fight towards ascending to the top.  

In July 2021, the World Bank (WB) upgraded Tanzania’s economy from low to lower-middle-income status, indicating that Tanzania means business. 

Since President Samia took office, tackling investment hurdles, improving economic diplomacy and building joint efforts to achieve Tanzania’s development goals have rocketed her administration.  

Numbers pivot towards describing how Tanzania has worked hard to stay stable and relevant in the

A United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Heritage site and an iconic attraction, Ngorongoro puts Tanzania at a fruitful competitive advantage.

The iconic area, which sits in the Ngorongoro Crater, has managed to co-exist with human settlements executing subsistence farming. The Maasai pastoralists have been residing in the Crater since 1959 after being relocated from their ancestral lands …

World food prices increased in April, for the first time in a year.

With so many more mouths to feed every year, the World’s ambitious Sustainable Development Goals, particularly on poverty eradication and ending hunger, seem further away than ever before.

The trend is global, and on October 16, 2021, the UN admitted and warned that the global fight against hunger is being lost.

With the warning, the UN called for action to improve food security for the world’s most vulnerable people, African coming on top of that list. For a place that relies so heavily on substantial farming for a livelihood, Africa faces a most daunting reality, clear forests to farm, lose potential output.…
